The INIA-Stress consortium characterizes stress and alcohol effects on the nervous
system at all levels, and in organisms ranging from mice to monkeys and humans.
We employ a wide range of technologies including genetic analysis and measurements
of ion channel function, synaptic activity and activity of neurons within active
circuits in vivo, as well as analysis of stress-related behaviors and alcohol intake.
The INIA has increased our understanding of the molecular, cellular and systems-based
neuroadaptive changes that take place in the brain as a consequence of alcohol/stress
interactions. A main goal of the informatics component of the INIA consortium is
to promote INIA collaboration and provide INIA information management through development
of collaborative bioinformatics. A secondary goal is to promote integrative and
comparative bioinformatics by developing tools for computational analysis, data
mining, interoperability and data integration.
